Pastor Kevin

Our wedding pastor Kevin was fun, friendly and knowledgeable. He met with us before the wedding, really listened to our concerns, and allowed us to read our own verses. He helped make our wedding truly special.

10/10 recommend!!!

We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding officiant. From the very beginning, Pastor Kevin was professional, kind, and truly invested in making our ceremony meaningful and personal. We specifically needed a bilingual officiant, and Pastor Kevin delivered exactly what I imagined. He seamlessly delivered the ceremony in both languages, making everyone feel included and connected. The ceremony was beautifully delivered—heartfelt, engaging, and the perfect balance of emotional and lighthearted. So many of our guests commented on how lovely and seamless the ceremony was. He truly helped set the tone for our entire wedding day, and we are so grateful for the care and attention he put into every detail. We highly recommend Pastor Kevin to any couple looking for an officiant who truly goes above and beyond.

Best Officiant!!!

Kevin is the guy you need to hire if you are looking for an officiant. He is fun and very knowledgeable about what he is doing. All of our guests like him and kept asking where did we find him. He made all of us feel the love from his speech and from his enthusiastic. I would give him 10/10 if I could.

Quinceanera Blessing!

Kevin was absolutely wonderful to work with! Couldn't have asked for a better blessing. He was highly recommended from a family friend and did not disappoint. He took to the time to speak with us as a family, expressed the importance of the blessing to us, and captured what we wanted as a family. I could not have been happier with Kevin, no wonder why he was highly recommended! I'll see you in a few years for my youngest Daughter's blessing.

Highly recommend Pastor Kevin

My husband and I got married last October and pastor Kevin was actually referred to us by our coordinator. We were looking for a bilingual officiant that was fluently bilingual.
Pastor Kevin gave a beautiful ceremony that our family loved so much. We were grateful to have met him and have him officiate our special day 😊

Excellent Bilingual Officiant

Pastor Kevin was so great to work with, he made it easy to meet over zoom to get to know us, give an overview and ask what we wanted to include in our ceremony. It was nice that he has prepared ceremony speeches to look over so we knew what to expect. Having a bilingual officiant was really important to us so that we could include all family members during our important day. He really added to our ceremony and made us feel comfortable

Pastor Kevin Helped Make Our Ceremony Perfect!

From start to finish, Pastor Kevin was great. He did a tremendous job of explaining everything, from pricing and preparation, to what to expect the day of of, he made sure we were ready and comfortable by the time the ceremony began. During the ceremony, it was great having a bilingual officiant, and there were many people there who really did appreciate that also. Lastly, when I unfortunately got emotional during the ceremony, Pastor Kevin gave me time, and helped me cross the finish line. I will forever remember this very special day, and will forever be grateful that Pastor Kevin was there to help make the ceremony perfect!
